These Intel-specific instructions represent the semantics of the minss /
maxss Intel instructions which behave more like a C ternary operator
than the WebAssembly fmin and fmax instructions.
They will be used as building blocks for implementing the WebAssembly
semantics.
This is used to represent the non-trapping semantics of the cvttss2si and
cvttsd2si instructions (and their vectorized counterparts).
The overflow behavior of this instruction is specific to the Intel ISAs.
There is no float-to-i64 instruction on the 32-bit Intel ISA.
Not all floating point condition codes are directly supported by the
ucimiss/ucomisd instructions. Some inequalities need to be reversed and
eq+ne require two separate tests.
To begin with, these are catch-all encodings with a SIB byte and a
32-bit displacement, so they can access any stack slot via both the
stack pointer and the frame pointer.
In the future, we will add encodings for 8-bit displacements as well as
EBP-relative references without a SIB byte.
The following instructions have simple encodings:
- bitcast.f32.i32
- bitcast.i32.f32
- bitcast.f64.i64
- bitcast.i64.f64
- fpromote.f64.f32
- fdemote.f32.f64
Also add helper functions enc_flt() and enc_i32_i64 to
intel.encodings.py for generating the common set of encodings for an
instruction: I32, I64 w/REX, I64 w/o REX.
These map to single Intel instructions.
The i64 to float conversions are not tested yet. The encoding tables
can't yet differentiate instructions on a secondary type variable alone.
